Chapter 8: Q. 58 (page 202)

Elm Street has a pronounced dip at the bottom of a steep hill before going back uphill on the other side. Your science teacher has asked everyone in the class to measure the radius of curvature of the dip. Some of your classmates are using surveying equipment, but you decide to base your measurement on what you鈥檝e learned in physics. To do so, you sit on a spring scale, drive through the dip at different speeds, and for each speed record the scale鈥檚 reading as you pass through the bottom of the dip. Your data are as follows:

Speed m/sec

Scale Reading N

Explanation

Lets draw the free body diagram as below

The figure shows forces in a circular motion,
T= tension, Centripetal force = mv2/r and gravitational force = mg .

Consider the bottom point

TBottom=mv2r+mg

When v=0 we have T=mg=588 N .

We can find mass

m=588N9.81m/s2=60kg

The equation become

T=(60kgv2r)+588N

The equation y=- mx +C

Where C=588 N and m=60/r

lets draw the graph with given data

Here , from the graph we can get

60r=0.4

This means r = 150 m.

Scientists design a new particle accelerator in which protons (mass 1.7 x 10-27kg ) follow a circular trajectory given by r鈫�=ccoskt2谋^+csinkt2确^ where c=5.0 m and k=8.0 x 104 rad/s2 are constants and t is the elapsed time.
a. What is the radius of the circle?
b. What is the proton's speed at t=3.0s ?
c. What is the force on the proton at t=3.0 s ? Give your answer in component form.

A 100 g ball on a 60-cm-long string is swung in a vertical circle about a point 200 cm above the floor. The tension in the string when the ball is at the very bottom of the circle is 5.0 N. A
very sharp knife is suddenly inserted, as shown in FIGURE P8.56,to cut the string directly below the point of support. How far to the right of where the string was cut does the ball hit the floor?

A 1500 kg car starts from rest and drives around a flat 50-m-diameter circular track. The forward force provided by the car鈥檚 drive wheels is a constant 1000 N.
a. What are the magnitude and direction of the car鈥檚 acceleration at t = 10 s? Give the direction as an angle from the r-axis.
b. If the car has rubber tires and the track is concrete, at what time does the car begin to slide out of the circle?

You鈥檝e taken your neighbor鈥檚 young child to the carnival to ride the rides. She wants to ride The Rocket. Eight rocket-shaped cars hang by chains from the outside edge of a large steel disk. A vertical axle through the center of the ride turns the disk, causing the cars to revolve in a circle. You鈥檝e just finished taking physics, so you decide to figure out the speed of the cars while you wait. You estimate that the disk is 5m in diameter and the chains are 6m long. The ride takes 10s to reach full speed, then the cars swing out until the chains are 20掳 from vertical. What is the cars鈥� speed?

A 200g block on a 50-cm-long string swings in a circle on a horizontal, frictionless table at 75rpm.

a. What is the speed of the block?

b. What is the tension in the string?
